The St Matthew Passion (Matthäus Passion) is one of the most beloved classical compositions. It is a complex work, created in an era which since long is no longer ours. By a better understanding of the backgrounds of the Matthäus Passion the listening experience can be enriched. In 12 chapters, Bach scholar and distant relative Govert Jan Bach reaches out keys to better understand this masterpiece. In an accessible manner he treats the creation and the essence of the Baroque, the layering of the piece, the various text sources, the architecture, the mysticism which plays such a large role in the work, the rediscovery in the 19th century, performance practice, most recent musicological finds, the Matthew Passion as cultural monument. The cd not only contain Govert Jan Bach’s story but you can also listen to pieces of the many different performances of this much loved composition.

Puss Milo sometimes falls asleep. He dozes off anywhere, in his basket at home, or in the sun. And every time strange things happen... For example on the day that Milo wakes up on a cloud so high that he sees the city beneath him. Or another day, when suddenly his warm basket is a boat and he finds himself bobbing on a great ocean. This delightfully illustrated book takes a child on a journey full of adventures, but it always ends well with Milo being at home.

A Beautiful Day Edvard sleeps. He has been painting all day, because he is an artist and always at work. Now he lies in bed, under a thick striped blanket. Outside it’s cold and dark, but inside Edvard dreams... of a beautiful day. A day where he and Vincent Van Gogh go to the beach together. To paint. Edvard paints what he sees and Vincent also paints what he sees. But both paintings are completely different. René van Blerk (1970) is connected to the Van Gogh Museum, where he develops educational materials for children. Erik Kriek (1966) is a cartoonist and illustrator, known internationally because of his illustrated six short stories of HP Lovecraft.

Vincent van Gogh lived in an exciting era of history. So many things were changing, with new inventions coming along all the time. Thanks to the railway network, with its rapid expansion across Europe, it was possible for the post to be delivered quickly. In the year Vincent was born, you couldn’t even go on the train from the Netherlands to Brussels. But by the time he had grown up, it was easy to travel all the way to the south of France. Vincent did quite a lot of travelling, covering thousands of kilometres throughout four different countries. No matter where he was, he nearly always wrote to his brother Theo. And Theo kept everything Vincent sent him: letters, drawings and paintings. So it’s thanks to Theo, the postal system and to the railways that we now know so much about Vincent. With this book you can now follow Vincent van Gogh around Europe, to all the places where he lived and worked!

Shiro lives with his mother in a village overshadowed by the castle of Lord Amago and under threat from the neighbouring Enya clan. He dreams of becoming a samurai warrior. When he hears that the Emperor has sent guardians for their temple he is overjoyed, and climbs the mountain to the temple with the rest of the village to meet them. To his disappointment, they turn out to be statues, not the real men he had imagined. Shocked by the guardians’ appearance, the villagers stay away from the temple. Only Shiro dares to return, and to learn more about these wooden men. When the Enya clan attack, who could have guessed that these Guardians hold not only Shiro’s future but also the safety of the whole province in their hands? One of the highlights of the new Rijksmuseum is the pair of 14thcentury Japanese Temple Guardian figures. These largerthan-life wooden sculptures were made for the Iwayaji Templein the west of Japan. This original, beautifully illustrated book makes playful use of Japanese prints and original artwork to weave a story around the history of these very special figures and to inspire an interest in Japanese art and culture.Everyone gasped with surprise…
This is Netty. She wears her finest clothes. Netty’s mother combed her hair for hours and the neighbor has put a beautiful little golden crown on her head. But why does she look so beautiful? For The Girl in the Golden Dress both Jan Paul Schutten and Martijn van der Linden did thorough research into the Nightwatch and the living and painting in the 17th century. This pays off in a beautiful book filled with facts about the world famous civic guard and refers to several famous paintings from Rembrandt’s time. Realized in cooperation with the Rijksmuseum

Together with his girlfriend Belle Hélène he is going to make the yummiest things.. Belle also is very sweet, and she has a good taste. What they like most is to play in the kitchen, with their friends Cauli Flower, Artie Apple, Chicory Endivia, Coco and Chip. With a mixer and cutleries they craft the tastiest things.

Sascha Meyer (1965) debuted in 2012 with her book The New Poor, in which she talks about her life without a penny where she once had a career as a successful freelance stylist. She lived like a pauper, of leftovers and scraps. At that time, jobless, she started doing what she could do best and had always liked to do since she was a child: write and play with food. She created a world of healthy leftovers, because the most important thing, even when you are poor, is to stay healthy.

She doesn’t like dull or boring things and whenever she gets bored she leaves the house and goes outside, looking for adventures together with her friend Sam. Sam lives in the middle-front of The Mouse Mansion, together with his mum, dad, brothers and sisters. He has got two grandma’s and two grandpa’s, a few aunts and an uncle. Sam is SUPER shy and a VERY good and decent boy. But whenever he is with Julia, he’s doing things he normally wouldn’t dare.
